Greener Henley is pleased to be hosting our GBGW Green Screen event: award winning, immersive documentary Honeyland at the Regal Cinema on Tuesday 10 June, followed by a live Q&A session with our expert panel. In a deserted Macedonian village, Hatidze, a 50-something woman, trudges up a hillside to check her bee colonies nestled in the rocks. Serenading them with a secret chant, she gently manoeuvers the honeycomb without netting or gloves. Back at her homestead, Hatidze tends to her handmade hives and her bedridden mother, occasionally heading to the capital to market her wares. One day, an itinerant family installs itself next door, and Hatidze’s peaceful kingdom gives way to roaring engines, seven shrieking children, and 150 cows. Yet Hatidze welcomes the camaraderie, and she holds nothing back—not her tried-and-true beekeeping advice, not her affection, not her special brandy. But soon Hussein, the itinerant family’s patriarch, makes a series of decisions that could destroy Hatidze’s way of life forever. The film has English subtitles. Honeyland has much to say about conserving nature, but its lessons are also about human life and relationships. The film shows how different human responses take place when there’s a need to survive and provide amidst limited natural resources. This event promises to be an inspiring screening and conversation, not only on beekeeping but also on how closely intertwined nature and humanity are, and how much we stand to lose if we ignore this fundamental connection. What approaches can we take to protect our fellow creatures and rethink our interactions with the world around us? Come join the discussion!
